Chapter 41: I can't open the pot

Mrs. Qin Liu looked Qin Zijin up and down, "Is everything okay?"

Qin Baoli on the side couldn't wait to respond, "Grandma, it's really okay. It's not Zijin who is in trouble, it must be that rogue Bai Guangyao."

Qin Dahai frowned, looked at Qin Wenshi aside, and asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Wenshi was an honest person who couldn't hold back his words. He honestly told the story of what had just happened.

After everyone in the Qin family heard what Qin Wenshi said, they all looked at Qin Zijin with complicated expressions, not knowing what to say.

Qin Zijin received these complicated looks, touched his nose awkwardly, and defended himself, "Well, the Bai family is too difficult to deal with, and I can't help it."

Boss Qin was the most angry. He even made a move for the two of them, but it turned out that these two girls were acting out. He pointed at the two of them angrily and reprimanded, "Tell me, what's the matter with you, huh?"

Qin Baoli pouted and replied, "Dad, can you blame us? If the Bai family hadn't come to beat people, we wouldn't have had to do this."

Mrs. Qin Liu stood by her granddaughter, "That's right, if these two children weren't smart, they might have suffered the consequences of the Bai family. Well done."

Qin Dahai sighed, "Okay, since everything is fine, let's leave. Go do what you need to do. Remember to sew your mouth shut and don't go out and talk nonsense."

Mrs. Qin Liu glared at Qin Dahai, "You still have to say this."

In addition to Qin Baoli, the Qin family also dispersed one after another, leaving only his own family. Qin Zijin lost his reserve, stretched out greatly, and sighed, "It's really refreshing."

Qin Wenshi glared at Qin Zijin, laughed and cursed, "You can do this, but you scared me to death."

Mrs. Lu smiled and responded, "Don't worry, Zijin has his own sense of responsibility. I'll boil some hot water for them to wash and change their clothes. They are all dirty."

In fact, Qin Wenshi also felt relieved, but she was really worried at the time. Seeing that the matter was resolved, she did not blame Qin Zijin anymore and followed Mrs. Lu to the kitchen to boil water for them.

After such a commotion, and with the pressure of the old patriarch of the Bai family, the Bai family calmed down and everyone stayed at home. Mrs. Bai didn't even dare to go out and quarrel with the villagers.

Qin Zijin stopped paying attention to these things and focused his energy on the Luozi in his hand again.

However, the food at home has been declining, the corn porridge has turned into wild vegetable corn porridge, and the corn in the porridge has become thinner and thinner.

There were quite a lot of vegetables grown at home, but without oil and water I always felt like I wasn’t full, so I ate too much, and soon the vegetables were running out.

After eating two more meals of steamed buns with mixed noodles that were too dark to bite and swallow, Qin Zijin finally couldn't bear it anymore.

I walked around the kitchen and found that the rice jar was almost at the bottom, and there was not much buckwheat flour, sorghum flour and corn flour left.

As for other meals, you don’t have to think about it.

With this clean kitchen, Qin Zijin estimated that after a while, he might not even be able to eat the steamed buns with mixed noodles.

When Qin Wen entered the kitchen, she saw Qin Zijin staring at the rice vat in a daze, so she comforted him, "It's almost the autumn harvest. If we survive this period, we can collect the rent and come back."

Because there is no strong labor force in the family, Qin Wenshi has to take care of the young Xiaobao, and Qin Zijin is not sensible, so she can't do it by herself.

The crops would be wasted if there was no one to take care of them, so she simply leased the fields to the villagers, and after a good harvest, she would give them part of the grain as rent.

As for the poultry at home, there was originally a pig and a few chickens, but the original Qin Zijin gave them away and bought and gave them to Lu Changyuan.

When Qin Zijin recalled these bad things in his memory, he had the urge to pry open the original person's head and see what was in her mind.

Qin Zijin is very self-aware. She is not good at improving her life by going hunting in the mountains and fishing in the water. The only thing she can rely on is money.

Taking a deep breath and adjusting her emotions, Qin Zijin reached into her arms and dug out. Finally, she gave up the idea of ​​giving the money to Qin Wenshi. She might as well go to the town to buy some rice and flour.

If it were given to grandma Qin Wenshi, she would have to continue to drink corn porridge and eat steamed buns with mixed noodles.

Before Qin Zijin had time to go to town to buy food, Yu Liniang came over first.

Yu Liniang came here with Li Cheng. Li Cheng must have been to Hongtu Village and specially showed Yu Liniang the way.

When he saw the courtyard where Qin Zijin lived, Li Cheng might have known about Qin Zijin's situation for a long time. He always looked happy and had no other emotions.

However, Yu Liniang did not hide the surprise in her eyes. She never expected that such a girl with outstanding temperament, shrewdness, ability, and propriety would come from such a poor farm family.

Qin Zijin only pretended not to see the surprise in Yu Liniang's eyes, and enthusiastically welcomed Yu Liniang and Li Cheng into the courtyard.

After inviting the two of them to sit down in the yard, Qin Zijin asked, "Why are you here suddenly?"

Yu Liniang also put away her surprise and responded with a smile, "I just came over to see how your progress is going. I brought you a colorful rope by the way. You can see if it works and see if there is anything that needs improvement."

After saying that, Yu Liniang took the package from Li Cheng's hand and took out the colored rope sample inside.

Qin Zijin read it carefully and put forward his own opinions without being polite.

"These colors are too dark. Let's see if they can be brighter. Can the thickness of the rope be adjusted? I think we need some ropes of different thicknesses, but can we try it?"

Yu Liniang carefully wrote down Qin Zijin's opinions and promised to go to her parents' house to discuss changes when she returned.

Then he asked Qin Zijin about his achievements these days, and Qin Zijin simply took out the finished products.

Yu Liniang looked through it and frowned, "Are there no new styles? These are the same as the ones you showed me before, right?"

Qin Zijin responded with a smile, "Why, do you want me to exhaust all the ideas in my head at once?"

Yu Liniang responded awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm impatient. This new style is definitely not something I can come up with in a short while."

Afraid that Yu Liniang wouldn't understand, Qin Zijin simply explained to Yu Liniang, "It's not that there are no new styles, but there is still a gap between taking out all the styles at once and a new model coming out after a while. The later ones seem to be more attractive.

Go hard."

Yu Liniang said excitedly, "You're right. If this is the case, others won't be able to imitate it. It's because I'm too impatient. We've just started and these are already enough for us to sell."

After thinking about it, Yu Liniang admired Qin Zijin a little more. Even at a young age, she had more ideas than she, a person who had been in business for many years.

After talking about the matter, Yu Liniang stood up and left. Although Qin Wenshi enthusiastically urged her to stay, she was too embarrassed to stay because of the Qin family's situation.
